Obama Kanga Fabrics - on eBay

Thanks to the special Black Threads reader who sent me a link last week to Obama Kanga Fabric on eBay (item 180312439834). The final bid for two panels was $61 + shipping. The winner receives fabric measuring 126" x 42." This Kanga fabric from East Africa bears the Swahili inscription: "Hongera Barack Obama. Upendo na amani ametujalia mungu." From the auction description, the phrase means "Congratulations Barack Obama. Love and Peace have been granted to us by God." Enjoy!
